Banker quits $10 million job over Snapchat photos

The teenager daughter of Royal Bank of Scotland chairman Rory Cullinan might have cost her father his $10 million job after posting a series of Snapchat photos online showing him being "bored" at work.

Mr Cullinan, one of the highest-paid bankers at RBS, received $4.3 million from bonuses in the past six months, $2.3 million in shares and $3.8 million following a recent promotion, Business Insider reports.

However, he will now leave his executive status and bank salary after his daughter Bridget, 18, posted screen shots of the tongue-in-cheek Snapchat selfies to her Instagram account.

The photos, which have done the rounds on Twitter since earlier this month, show a rather annoyed and grumpy-looking bespectacled Mr Cullinan with the captions "Boring meeting xx", "Not a fan of board meetings xx" and "Another friggin meeting".

RBS chief executive Ross McEwan has released a statement confirming that Mr Cullinan would depart the bank on April 30.

The statement did not comment on the reasons for his exit, with Mr McEwan quoted as thanking Mr Cullinan for his "very significant contribution" over the past six years.

The Guardian has suggested his departure is unrelated to the photos and instead the result of a disagreement with a colleague.
